I apologize for asking maybe a very trivial question.
I have a new class object A with slots. One of the slots is, for
example, object spam. Object spam, in turn, also has slots and one of
them is attribute eggs. I need to assign a new value to eggs. In other
words, I need to perform the following:
A.spam.eggs=new Value
The problem is that I have only a string s='spam.eggs' with which to
work, so I cannot write an expression written above. I tried to use
setattr:
setattr(A, s, newValue)
but this does not work. It says that object A does not have attribute
spam.eggs
How would you do it? TIA.

since "eggs" is an attribute of the "spam" attribute, you need to fetch
the latter first:
setattr(getattr (A, "spam"), "eggs")

Great! Thanks, it works (of course).

Slightly off topic, i know, but here goes:
I'm trying to xlate a module of mine to C++. Only problem is, it makes
heavy use of "setattr". Anyone know a straightforward way to do
"setattr" in C++ ?
thanks,

I stumbled across this (while using my homebrewn enum class):
class test:
pass
instance = test()
setattr(instance, "THIS :*2+~# IS OBVIOUSLY INVALID", 123)
I would've expected some kind of error message here when calling
setattr(); after all, its not a regular attribute? Plus, documentation

I'm trying to use setattr inside a module.
From outside a module it's easy:
import spam
name="hello"
value=1
setattr(spam, name, value)
But if I want to do this inside the module spam itself, what I've to
pass to setattr as first argument?

Hi!
In a class C, I may do setattr(C,'x',10).
Is it possible to use getattr/setattr for variables not inside
classes or something equivalent? I mean with the same result as
exec("x=10").
Thanks.

Hi,
I m trying to implement an object which contains lazy" variables. My
idea is to alter the getattr and the setattr methods. However I keep
on getting a recursion error.
My idea is that the lazy variable can be stored in a variety of
places, Database, PyTables etc. The lazy variable is a large variable
and so I dont want to hold it in memory all of the time, I d rather
just get it when needed and then store it for future work. Most...

hi,
My main purpose for using setattr(object, attr, value) for assign
values from a dict that has some keys that may not be present on some
object's attibute, which makes it work for me. My problem is dealing
with read only attribute like sample_attribute =
property(f_get=_get_sample_attribute). what approach should I use? Or
is my first approach In the first place right?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
